Scotland Curriculum Alignment
Forward Education's classroom kits are aligned to Curriculum for Excellence. Alignments cover the Sciences, Numeracy and Mathematics, and Literacy and English Experiences and Outcomes, along with the Technologies organisers for Computing Science and for Craft, Design, Engineering and Graphics, which together carry most of our build-and-code work. Every alignment carries its official CfE code, such as SCN 2-09a or TCH 3-15a, and was checked outcome by outcome at Second, Third and Fourth Level, so teachers in Glasgow, Edinburgh and every local authority can see exactly where each lesson fits their planning.
How we count: Each percentage reflects how many individual standards are addressed by at least one lesson, project, or tutorial within that product. Because many of our activities are interdisciplinary, multiple lessons may align to the same standard, so your students will often have more than one opportunity to practice each expectation throughout the kit.
